Arkansas Democrats received an early Christmas present.

Jared Henderson, the 39-year old former executive director for Teach for America’s Arkansas region, announced on Tuesday he will seek the Democratic nomination for Arkansas governor. No other Democrat has announced for the post to challenge incumbent Republican Governor Asa Hutchinson.

In an interview with Talk Business & Politics, Henderson, who is married to a Little Rock physician, said his 13-month old son’s future was a motivator for this run. MORE
